The Morgan Lander Halloween costume depleted most of my sanity like the pathetic health bar of a low level character on an RPG and left me with short hair that I hate about 50% of the time. But I did gain skills with eyeliner so quite possibly I’ll wear make-up outside of plays and without the aid of Eugene (who has more success with putting eyeliner on me than any other members of a production’s make-up crew).

Besides building up a collection of comic sketches to eventually turn into comics and then posting them all at once, my next project will be a Super Mario quilt for the little guy. I made him a quilt (first one I ever made) the Christmas before he was born. But it was a smaller quilt and soon he’ll completely grow out of it. So I want to make him a new one. And he’s really into Mario…if he sees anything Mario he’ll point and say “Mario!” or “Ma-ri-o-o-o” (he likes to add extra syllables”.

Part of the planning is done. I want to take the items from Super Mario Bros. 3 and quilt them. I found sprites of the items (I think they’re from a re-release because the coloring is slightly different) and drafted them out onto graft paper. After that is the layouts and figuring out the costs and fabric yardage before quilting it. I think the actual quilting part will be fairly easy because sewing a bunch of squares together is not hard. Will defiantly be better than sewing vinyl and quilting is a lot more relaxing!
